Reincarnated as a Failed Villain: Fallen Angel

"Speaking about Zorian's blessing," Isaac's voice suddenly interrupted them. "I believe we should start teaching him how to use it."

"Alright!" Lucas eagerly agreed. "Let's get started then!"

"Sarah, I heard you know how to use it. Please show Lucas how it's done." Isaac said with a serious expression. "Say the incantation out loud."

"Umm... Okay..." Sarah hesitated for a moment before she took a deep breath and started chanting. "I-I cast the bless of my ancestor, Othar, on myself... By his grace, I become one with the divine power... My body is now infused with divine energy... I-Impact!"

The light of the blessings shone around her body, and a pink aura formed around her. "Wow! That's amazing!" Lucas exclaimed. 'I can do that without the blessing spell tho.' Lucas thought, 'Well, it harms my body, but I regenerate so it's not a big deal.'

"R-Right?" Sarah said nervously.

Lilith looked at Sarah with a concerned expression. 'She's good for a human.' she thought to herself. 'I need to show off a little.' Lilith smirked, and a golden aura surrounded her body. 'Praise me!'

"Like this?" Lilith asked, trying not to sound confident. But her eyes were shining with pride.

'What is she doing?' Lucas thought, 'I'm pretty sure it is given that a goddess would know how to use this magic.'

"Uh... Y-Yes!" Sarah stuttered in response to Lilith's question. "YOU NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE?!"

"N-No! This was my first time!" Lilith awkwardly turned her gaze away from Sarah.

'She is such a terrible liar.' Lucas and Isaac stared at Lilith's face in disbelief.

"Eh?" Lilith noticed the gazes and started blushing. "O-Okay, okay! Of course I've done this before! I mean, I did it once for a few seconds when I was young... But you know, it was just for fun, nothing serious!"

Isaac sighed loudly, "Lilith, you..." He shook his head and turned to Lucas, "Continue."

"Y-Yes." Lucas nodded as he concentrated, visualizing the mana surrounding him. However, he couldn't keep the control over it and it burst out creating a dark fog around him. 'Damn it...' Lucas thought.

"Woah." Sarah exclaimed. "Amazing!" It shocked Sarah that Lucas seemingly used Zorian's blessing with no effort. However, when she noticed Isaac's expression, she knew something was wrong.

Isaac shook his head and placed his hand on Lucas's shoulder and remove all excess mana. "Quick reminder, don't force it. Try to manipulate it. Don't force it." he reminded him.

"Nngh..." Lucas groaned as he let go of the mana. He felt relieved after Isaac removed the excess mana that started harming Lucas's face.

"W-What was that?" Sarah asked, after noticing a couple of bruises and cuts on Lucas's face.

"That's what happens when you force your mana out." Isaac crossed his arms and sighed. "Usually, it would be impossible for people to push out their mana by force. But because Lucas have great amount of it, he can overload his mana vessels with his mana and explode like that."

"That's... very dangerous." Sarah murmured, horrified by the idea.

"It is." Isaac agreed. "Lucas needs more time practicing his control over it. That's why his current training is focused on controlling his mana instead of unleashing it."

Thomas flew towards mountains of Ciberog and stopped next to the mountain's peak. 'I'm here.' Thomas thought. 'Where are you?'

"I'm coming." Drake sent back, as he jumped up the mountain.

Drake landed next to Thomas's position. "It's been a while."

"Indeed." Thomas nodded. "My apologies for making you wait."

"Not at all. How is your kingdom doing?"

"It's still... in danger"

"I see." Drake frowned. "What happened?"

Thomas sighed. "I got my ass whooped. Twice." He said, remembering the fight against Lucas and the beating Dorian gave him. Thomas against Dorian wasn't even a fight, as Dorian was on a whole different level compared to Thomas.

Drake raised his brows. "Who on Lightburn besides me can beat you? Scratch that. Who can even fight you?"

Thomas frowned. "An angel. Another guy was a demon. Similar to you."

"What? An angel?" Drake scoffed. "How did you find an angel? I thought they were a myth."

"An angel is not a problem as he seems to care about the Elemental kingdom and innocent people." Thomas thought about Lucas. The angel didn't seem to have any problems with him, either.

"What about the demon?" Drake asked.

"Do you remember the reason you left our kingdom?"

Drake frowned at the reminder of how he wanted to murder his classmates for what they did to Dorian and Elizabeth. They didn't deserve to live. "I remember. Because you wanted to create a law against murder."

"Look, murder isn't right!" Thomas shouted, exasperated. "How can you even think about killing people like that?"

"When you became a demon, you had no qualms about killing." Drake tilted his head. "In fact, what you did was basically a genocide. Stop being a hypocrite just because you regained your humanity." Drake spat

Thomas clenched his fist tightly. "I've changed my perspective on things! I might have lost my soul when I became a demon, but I did it to save innocent people!"

"Who are you trying to fool? I'm not buying that bullshit!" Drake growled angrily. "You simply wanted to ignore the fact our classmate was assaulted! You wanted to pretend it never happened!"

"Y-You! I..." Thomas stuttered, feeling ashamed.

"Do you even know his name? His father's name?" Drake asked. "Do you know the girl's name who was hospitalized in a mental hospital after losing her friend?"

Thomas stood silently as he stared at the ground. He knew he fucked up. But the worst part is that he must tell that the same guy Drake left the Elemental kingdom awakened as a demon.

Drake put his arm on the shoulder of Thomas. "I understand why you feel like that. But it doesn't matter anymore. We're both here now. Let's forget the past and move forward."

"A-About the past...

"Huh?" Drake raised his brows again. He wanted to forget the whole situation as his friend asked. However, this was the main reason he hated to talk about it. "You were the one to ask me to forget it."

However, what came next shocked Drake to his core?

"Dorian... he became a demon." Thomas said. "A powerful one at that. Probably as powerful as you."

Drake froze for a moment. 'Say what now?'
